Mary had a Little Lamb named Chelsea

Mary ready to take her lamb to school

I struggled at first wondering how to design this, but it turned out to be a fun project to do with my daughter, pretty easy, and inexpensive. She even named her lamb Chelsea.

After finding a colonial type dress that was too big for her, I added her hoop skirt she wore for a wedding to help the fit.  She had ankle booties to wear with the dress. I bought “Frozen” hair headband from Dollar Tree and made two long braids and added two of her hairbows. I added pink lipstick to her cheeks to make them rosy. She had a “Mary had a Little Lamb” book passed down from her grandmother.

I made the lamb by paper mache and painted with craft paint. I used my furniture dolly to hot glue the lamb on and situated the lamb in order to have an area for her to sit and ride so that I would not have to carry her.  I stapled three strands of Christmas garland that I had for the grass as well as one flower from my craft items. I added a pink dog collar with a bell and a leash.

The book came in handy to sit down and read to her when waiting on our next excursions and was read many times.  

The lamb can actually be used again at easter for photos and then for her birthday as a pinata!
